 Pay

 

How Much Will it Cost?

 
You will need to pay all costs associated with your course when you enrol. The exact cost of your course will be available when you enrol as fees will vary depending on what modules/units you enrol in.
 
The course pages will give you an indication of cost for full time study and you can use this as a guide for part time study.

Your course fees are made up of two components:
 

1. Course Fee

The course fee is calculated on the basis of the course hours for each unit.
 
These hours include a wide range of delivery and assessment activities and may not always be used for classroom teaching. The course fee is the sum of fees for all units you are enrolled in and is capped at $626.00 or $313.00 if you have proof of concession.
 

2. Resource Fee

 
The resource fee covers the materials and any other services used as a part of a unit. Resource fee costs vary from unit to unit depending on the content of the qualification.  Some qualifications such as art and design, fashion, and photography incur high resource fees.
 
Each course page gives an indication of the resource fee, however you will only find out the exact amount you need to pay when you enrol.
 
All fees and charges must be paid at the time of enrolling, unless you qualify for an instalment plan. There may be additional costs that you will pay during the course to cover items such as textbooks.
 
Concession Rate
The concession rate is available to students who receive one of the following concessions:
  • Austudy/Abstudy
  • Centrelink Health Care Card 15-17 year old concession (students born in 1995, 1996 or 1997 are eligible for the 15-17 year old concession category. Proof of age will be required)
  • Pensioner Concession Card
  • Veteran Health Card.

 

To claim the concessional rate you must provide proof of your concession at the time of enrolment otherwise you will be charged the full cost.

 

Ways to Pay
You can either pay online by credit card or in person at a Student Servcies counter by credit card or EFTPOS, cheque or money order.  For safety reasons will only accept cash under exceptional circumstances.
